PwC reviews

As an Audit Associate at PwC, I experienced one of the most grueling work environments of my career. The busy season is relentless — you’re expected to completely sacrifice your personal life for nearly four months out of the year. Late nights until 2–3 AM are not uncommon, and weekends are often treated as regular workdays. What made the experience worse was the lack of support from senior team members and management. Rather than fostering a collaborative environment, seniors and managers frequently overloaded associates with excessive tasks while providing minimal guidance. When help was offered, it often came with condescending attitudes, dismissive remarks, or outright belittling. There was little to no regard for employee well-being. Despite putting in long hours and significant effort, I was laid off after two years with little explanation or appreciation for the sacrifices I made. Overall, my time at PwC left me burned out and disillusioned. I would not recommend this role to anyone who values work-life balance, a supportive team, or long-term career growth.

I'm at the two-year mark, and I've seen a different side of PwC. In my current engagement, the team is genuinely rude to each other and talks about other team members' performance on group calls without that team member present. I brought this up to HR about how toxic my team was in the way they talk to each other (literally sometimes screaming matched) and how they talk about each other, and I was told, "People just lead differently." Additionally, I have voiced and actively tried to move departments or at least moving teams for the last eight months and have received little to no guidance or help at a company that claimed to "encourage" movement. your whole pwc experience depends on the roll of a die of what team you get & then you're stuck with them
